Barcelona ready to offer Marc Guiu a bumper contract extension

That brought him to wider attention, and he has since rotated between first team and Barca B duty until the end of 2023, and scored a first ever Champions League goal in December.

Barcelona are determined to avoid a surge of interest from outside Catalonia and they are confident over a smooth transition to a long term contract.

His current deal runs until 2025, as per UEFA rules on contracts signed by players aged under 18, however, that changes from January 4.

Guiu’s 18th birthday will be quickly followed by contract talks, as per Diario Sport, with Barcelona willing to offer him five more years until 2030.
